Homeschool Mastery Group

Homeschool Mastery Group I help Christian parents achieve homeschool success by creating personalized, faith-centered learning plans in 30 days or less.

Husband to my amazing wife Sunny and proud dad to two beautiful little girls. When I'm not helping Christian families transform their homeschool journey, you'll find me roasting coffee beans, making music, or practicing jiujitsu on the mats here in Las Vegas. My passion for education and faith drives my work, but family time is where my heart truly finds its home.

The Spaced Review Framework is available inside my free homeschooling community: skool.com/homeschooling

If a free community sounds like too much commitment, just message me RETAIN; I'm happy to send the details directly.

Why Are We Forcing Children to Learn According to Their Birthday?

Education Endowment Foundation research on mastery learning. The calendar was never the right measuring stick.

Comment "PACE" for the mastery-tracking template we use with families.

A child with a good report card and a child who understands the material are not the same thing.

Deciding to do something about it doesn't make you crazy; it means you're paying attention.

Homeschooling is for more than parents who want their children to have good grades. It's for parents who want their children to be able to think critically, understand, and engage in the world successfully.

If that's your goal, comment TABLE below.

After this skit came out, my name has never been the same.

It's okay. I know a lot of you are thinking of it, so this is my permission structure to Balakay as freely as you like.

Funny story: my wife is the second of eight, and her parents are first-generation immigrants with English as a second language. When we were still engaged, all of her siblings used to call me "Balakay" to the point that eventually her parents thought they were saying my name incorrectly.

Everyone has a perception of you based on what they see. But the thing is, no one sees everything.

When it comes to your children (in my opinion), the only opinion that matters is theirs. Not other parents, not their friends, not a random passerby with something to say.

Do your kids look at you with respect, fear, admiration, affection, and possibility?

For me personally, the judgment that matters is how I am seen in the eyes of my God, my wife, and my children.

This is my reminder to whoever needs to hear it. Don't let those other voices get too loud. They don't see everything. Just make sure the one who does see everything is proud of what they see.

There are two buckets that every homeschooler has to fill in order to find success.

1. Is the bucket to decide to start homeschooling.
- A thousand conversations
- Interacting with homeschooling families
- Conflict with the traditional school system
- The list goes on...

2. Is the bucket of learning how to homeschooling in a way that fits your family.
- Understanding your family's unique strengths and values
- Positioning your program to fit your family's lifestyle and constraints
- Setting clear goals with an approach that actually achieves them
- etc...

If you've made filled your first bucket, but need help filling the second, comment HOMESCHOOL and I'll outline the plan to fill your cup fast.

Bought your fourth curriculum this year?

You're not failing at shopping - you're stuck in what I call the Curriculum Spinner.

It never ends at the curriculum, because the curriculum was never the actual problem.

Comment SPINNER if this is you, and I'll walk you through the fix.

Unpopular opinion: there's no such thing as 'too advanced' for your kid - only too much pressure.
Watch for interest and ability, not arbitrary grade-level ceilings.

There is no ceiling.

The threshold is only ever at the bottom.

Save this for the next time you second-guess letting your kid go deep.

New series: From the Notebook - real tools from real coaching, one at a time.

Tool #1: the 2-minute friction log. 'Today was hard' isn't information you can build on.

'Reading took 45 minutes and fell apart after lunch' is.

Comment NOTEBOOK, and I'll send you the exact template we use inside the Mastery Cup.
